We all need some help from time to time. My experience is in collaborating with clients in a safe and non-judgemental environment, to help work through difficult situations or feelings, help improve mood, develop better coping mechanisms, and learn ways to think more fondly of yourself.
I can also help you to develop healthier lifestyle habits and more useful behaviours, particularly for those who are overweight; struggle with yo-yo dieting; bingeeating, or are during or pre/post weightloss injection use or bariatric surgery. We can work to increase your self-esteem and self-confidence and reduce negative body image thoughts.

I believe we all have the ability in us to make the changes that help us live our lives happier and fulfilled. I am honest, and I will ask questions to challenge you
If you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and distress about your eating behaviours?
If you feel dread over the next meal or anxiety around food?
Do you reach for food as a reward and then not be able to stop?
Sometimes, past events/trauma can cause a lot of anxiety around food and our behaviour towards food. This can lead to different types of eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. What can we do to find peace with ourselves and with food.

Do you often feel a sense of guilt or shame around food? Do thoughts of food become intrusive or overwhelming? Are you often binging or eating until you feel uncomfortable or sick? Perhaps you are fixated on 'healthy' or 'clean' eating? Maybe you 'purge' by excessively exercising, restricting, making yourself sick, using laxatives, or have a history of yo-yo dieting? Perhaps you avoid whole food groups and are often called a 'fussy' or 'picky' eater? Or a combination of any of the above? It sounds like you are struggling with an Eating Disorder!

I became a Psychotherapist because I’ve seen what it’s like when life breaks you open — when love hurts more than it heals, when you lose yourself trying to hold everything together. But, I have also seen the other side of recovery where pain is turned into healing, boundaries and a greater self worth!
My work now is about helping others find their way back to safety, confidence, and connection — whether that’s healing from domestic abuse, rebuilding after trauma, or learning how to have healthy, grounded relationships again.
If you’re ready to understand yourself better and start feeling stronger then you’re in the right place.

Do you find yourself feeling disconnected, lost, or struggling with your sense of identity after a traumatic experience? Trauma can often lead to a profound sense of disconnection from oneself. Together, we'll explore different techniques, empowering you to reconnect with your true identity, rediscover your strengths, and reclaim your sense of self. Not all emotions or experiences can be easily put into words. I incorporate creative methods to explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a non-verbal way, fostering a deeper understanding and facilitating healing.

Weight Loss Counsellors
What is the relationship between weight management and mental health?
Mental health can be significantly influenced by one's physical health, so overall improvements in one's quality of life as a result of improved physical functioning from weight loss can have an overall positive impact on an individual's mental health and allow them to engage more readily in everyday activities. In addition, many strategies used to manage weight, such as exercise and maintaining a healthy diet, are also associated with reducing the symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. Individuals may also benefit from the improved self-esteem and self-efficacy that can come with successful weight management.
What is the psychological approach to losing weight?
While there are no specific therapy modalities specifically for weight loss, common psychological therapies can be highly effective in helping clients make lasting lifestyle changes. This may be called the "psychological approach" to weight loss because it does not rely on physical interventions, such as medication or weight loss surgery, to help clients lose weight. Weight loss counselling can be used in addition to or instead of such physical interventions. Some clients simply seek therapy to address the challenges that may accompany weight loss in general, including negative thoughts surrounding their body, disordered eating patterns, or difficulty completing daily tasks as a result of their weight challenges. In such cases, therapists will often utilise behavioural coaching or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help clients understand how their thoughts may be influencing their diet and physical activity patterns.
What type of therapy is commonly used in weight loss counselling?
Weight loss counseling often involves a combination of therapy and psychoeducation. Common techniques used by weight loss counselors include journalling, thought diaries, and other Cognitive Behavioural Therapy strategies that encourage clients to consider how their feelings about their weight loss impact their mental health. Weight loss counsellors may also teach clients mindfulness exercises, which can be used by clients during and after eating to be more aware of physical cues from their body surrounding eating. Some clients looking for weight loss therapy may also benefit from group therapy approaches, which utilise the power of social connection and accountability to help clients adhere to their weight loss plan.
Is therapy recommended for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery?
While therapy is not a requirement for individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, many individuals undergoing weight loss surgery may benefit from seeing a counsellor. Prior to surgery, counsellors can help clients decide whether surgical weight loss is a good fit for them and assist in surgery preparation. Post-surgery, counsellors can assist clients with the psychological component of maintaining their weight loss, as well as help clients navigate any postoperative pain. Throughout the surgical process, therapists can help clients process body-image challenges that may come with dramatic changes in weight, as well as manage symptoms of anxiety or depression that may accompany the major life changes bariatric surgery can bring.
